ABOUT ME

Note: I don't have Internet at this moment, please, include your personal mail in your request to reply you
Mail: marie.alonso@etecsa.cu

I'm friendly, frank and an open minded person. I really like to meet other people, learn about their lives/country/culture and share opinions. I am better in listening than in talking, (perhaps because I am psychologist) but I always enjoy a good conversation about interesting topics.
